Nice to have my space back for a while.Made a delicious tortilla last night.Fell asleep on settee in saloon.
Spoke to Tony on the phone,he's settling in well and now he's been out sailing in San Diego bay a few times. He had a few people over to celebrate 4th July.Missing each other badly.Spoke to Mark (my brother) feel helpless that he has now lost some sight in one eye,due to the steroids he's taken over the years,for his transplant.
Awoke to find a card ,with a cheque attached,from Laurie and Jenny on 'Rona'.Called my RNLI Sea Safety Officer and met Pat McClean (local Sea Safety),who showed me around the Oban lifeboat station where I handed over the cheque. What a beautiful old (circa 18C) building,including two towers looking out towards the bay and the sound.
Went for a walk around Kerrera, after my chores.Well it took 5 hours.I was a bit nonplussed when the café 5 miles along was closed and all they had to offer was water (not that I'm not grateful) from their well.Did I not see the signs by the ferry that it was closed, I was asked. 'No I've walked 5miles from the marina,just for a cup of tea'.They didn't get my humour and didn't give me a cuppa. The scenery was stunning, but I started to wonder if i'd ever get back,as I got to the ferry dock and it was the end of the road!I started at 14.30 and finally arrived back at 19.45.
